The Ford Theatre Reunion

Lexington, Kentucky, USA

BandRockPunk

The Ford Theatre Reunion does all the right things with all the wrong instruments. Punk rock banjo? Sure. Progressive accordion? Check. Dance clarinet guitar duet? Definitely. Drawing as much influence from Balkan folk and hot club jazz as they do from thrash and progressive metal, Lexington KY’s premier "sludge-funk-circus-punk" ensemble has thrown aside all tradition to create a brand new party.

Biography

Citing influences as diverse as punk, balkan, jazz, metal, nightmares, and wet dreams, The Ford Theatre Reunion creates a sound that defies easy definition. In one moment ethereal vocals drift over flighty clarinet and melancholy accordion, and in the next moment it’s a full-bore, guitar-snarling rock n’ roll assault. It is the perfect soundtrack for a puppet show at a funeral or board game night with some werewolves.

Despite their disparities, The Ford Theatre Reunion has one particular aspect that never changes: once they catch your eyes and ears, you aren’t going anywhere for the rest of the night. Since 2008, they have been bringing their unique sound and high-energy show to clubs, basements, bars, and bungalows across the US, and they are guaranteed to get even the most stubborn audience moving.
